Range bars

Bars that each cover exactly the same price range from low to high, however long that takes.

Die Idee in einfachen Worten

A range bar closes as soon as its high–low reaches the set range, and the next one starts. Quiet markets make few bars and busy ones many, so each bar carries the same amount of movement.

So wird gerechnet

Built here from the candles of the timeframe on screen, following open → low → high → close (or open → high → low → close for falling candles). Range: automatic (ATR 14, rounded) or your own value.

A bar ends when high − low = range; the next bar opens at that price

Anwendung

  • Read breakouts and trends with less noise than time candles.
  • Volume-like reading: many bars in a short time = activity.

Schlüsse ziehen

  • Bars always have the same height; the last one is still forming.

Beispiel

GOLD M5 with a 3.00 range: a quiet hour makes two bars, a news spike ten.

Kurse in Beispielen dienen der Veranschaulichung.

Worauf man achten sollte

  • Built from candles, so the path inside each source candle is estimated.
